What is life?

What is life?

I see life as a unique and precious gift from God, a life which he saw as "very good", a life which he created as his own. As such my answer to this crucial question is that life should not be a mere existence, but should be a happy existence with a purpose and a mission to fulfill on earth and to prepare for the next life. Life should be something wonderful! Full of life! I would describe life as a meaningful existence. I see feelings, emotions, energy and power in life. A life will forever exist; however, the choices we make in life and the actions we take, will dictate whether our existence is a full meaningful existence or an empty lifeless existence.

LIFE IS PURPOSE

Life to me is believing and seeking righteousness and doing what is good in:

1) Love
2) Peace
3) Charity
4) Patience
5) Kindness
6) Knowledge
7) Giving
8) Compassion

Therefore, my purpose in life is to seek God all the days of my life, to abide in him and fulfill his will in my life, because I choose to live happy and I choose salvation and eternal life with him. In the next life I choose to live in his heavenly kingdom, a kingdom which is none alike, "which eyes has not seen and which words cannot describe". I choose to be his representative on earth to have his heart, to walk in love and do good to the best of my ability all the days of my life.

LIFE IS LOVE

And in so conducting our existence, we earn true love, true satisfaction and true happiness. But most importantly, I do not see life without love; and to me God is life and God is love, and I cannot imagine my life without God. Life is also living in companionship as God created us man and woman, so that man is not left alone. So, there is a yearning in life to love and to be loved. By that I do not mean that there is no life for a person that lives alone as they might be living alone in the physical sense, but they are not lonely since living with God alone and fulfilling his will in our lives is more than enough. The best companion one can have in life is God, as there is no greater love to us than his.

However, love does not only exist between a woman and a man, but we experience love is every good thought, in every good deed, in every good work that we can offer to any person we come in contact with at any given opportunity.

Living in love and conducting ourselves in love is a complete and fulfilled life.

LIFE IS FREEDOM

Life is freedom of choice; however the choices we make will decide whether we are living a life of freedom or a life
